Call for Test Days for Fedora 18
by Adam Williamson
Hey, folks. It's that time again - time to start thinking about Test
Days for Fedora 18.
For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused
around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results,
with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers
together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can
run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do
some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it
doesn't have to be code, for instance we often run Test Days for
l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that
the QA group helps you out with organization, or any combination of the
two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in QA trac - full details
are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . For
instructions on hosting a Test Day, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management .
You can see the schedule at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_18_test_days . There are many
slots open right now, with the earliest on 2012-08-09 and the latest
2012-11-01. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when
you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid
the time before the Alpha release or the time after the feature freeze
or the Final freeze.
We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want
to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do
something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is
how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday
slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up
Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a
Test Day in a specific timeframe due to the development schedule, but
the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another
day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or timeframe you'd
like, and we'll figure it out from there.
If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any other member of the QA team on test@ or in
#fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks!

# Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net
Greetings testers!
Feels like just about time to have another meeting, with F18 Alpha
starting to impend. (Can you start to impend? Quick, someone call the
dictionary people). It's probably a good idea to discuss the status of
the new anaconda UI: if anyone from the anaconda team can come along for
that, it'd be a big help, thanks folks. If anyone has anything else to
discuss, please propose it or bring it up in open floor.
This is a reminder of the upcoming QA meeting. Please add any topic
suggestions to the meeting wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20120730
The current proposed agenda is included below.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. F18 preparation / newUI status
2. AutoQA update
3. Open floor

I hate to feel like I keep blowing off meetings, but hey, sticking with
the 'nothing to meet about' principle, we don't need one this week
either.
It seems like there's been a general lack of Major Topics in QA-land
lately; activating Paranoid Mode, does anyone think there are any
negative reasons for this, or is it more just that things are sort of
ticking along smoothly and we shouldn't fix anything that ain't broken?
Opinions welcome =)

Looks like another week where we can skip the meeting - there's no
significant ongoing business besides the anaconda new UI testing, and
we've already discussed that. No-one proposed any topics. If anyone's
feeling terribly sad about missing meetings, do let me know...

Greetings testers!
Well, we've skipped meetings for the last couple of weeks as there was
nothing much to discuss, but there seem to be a few topics worth kicking
around this week, so let's get the ball rolling again.
Special call-outs to Bruno (for the 'blocker bug analysis' topic) and to
Jóhann and Luke (for the 'Bodhi 2.0 design ideas' topic) - if it would
be convenient for you folks to attend that'd be great. If none of those
folks turn out to be available, it may be a short meeting!
This is a reminder of the upcoming QA meeting. Please add any topic
suggestions to the meeting wiki page:

Welp, once again there's nothing pressing on the agenda for this week -
we did have the Bodhi issue as a potential item, but I didn't hear back
from Luke. Also Monday is a holiday for me (it's Canada Day today) and I
suspect quite a few in the U.S. may be taking some time off leading up
to July 4. All in all, doesn't seem like there's any need for a meeting.
I'll try and rope Luke in and we can pick up next week. Enjoy your
Monday as much as you can without a meeting, everyone...
